In Case You Missed it, Travis Pastrana is The Man

2010 Lexus IS250 AWD
/
An entry-level luxury sedan should accomplish a few things. It should be fun to drive, provide a taste of what’s in store if you explore deeper into the model lineup, and show the world that you are climbing your respective career ladder. You may wish this were not the case but we live in a materialistic…

The new DMC: Sorcery of a Different Sort
/
Quick! If I say “DMC”, you say “12”, right? It’s forever been that way since we met those bad, bad, VW-driving Libyans and learned how to defeat them. Well, after viewing the following video, the acronym “DMC” is going to have to fight more than Libyans for it to solely mean “DeLorean Motor Company”. Apparently…

Dobbertin DHC: Like a Fieroghini Hydroplane!
/
Blame it on the jigger of scotch you had with brefass if you wish, but the Dobbertin HydroCar (DHC) is as real as your drinking problem, and a hell of a lot more dangerous.

V.I.S.I.T: Ford Fairmont 2-Door Sedan
/
Sleepers are cool, and Fox-body sleepers are especially cool, because they’re also cheap, easy to build and surprisingly competent.

A Mitsubishi L300 Plumbers Van that tears up the Strip……
/
Remember the diminutive Mitsubishi L300 Forward Control Van? When it was first introduced it only came with the 4G32 1.6L four cylinder engine. While mostly reliable, it was no powerhouse. The little power-plant that can’t had been replaced in this van, and the video is awesome. How awesome? Make the jump….

Last Call- The Generation Gap Edition
/
As we flip the giant hourglass over in anticipation of a spankin’ new year, it’s a good opportunity to contemplate where we fit in the annals of history (annals, Charles, annals). It’s also nice to know that as long as there’s been cars, there’ve been douchebags to drive them. Happy new year everybody. Stay out…

HCOTY Nominee: Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
/
For most of the period between the end World War II and the Late Malaise Era, the full-size, body-on-frame (or primitive unibody), live-rear-axle, V8-powered sedan was the standard, middle-of-the-mainstream American motor vehicle. The Panther-platform Crown Victoria stands alone as the only car with an unbroken lineage to the Postwar Big Cheap Detroit Sedan gene pool…

The Year End Wrap-up for the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot
/
As many of you may (or may not) know, I have a series of postings at CarDomain.com called the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot. I just thought the readers at Hooniverse would like to know how this little feature came to be, and to take a look at the year end round up taking…

HCOTY Nominee: The Inimitable V-12 Jaguair
/
HCOTY Nominee: ’67 Jaguair Nominated by: Han Solex As Seen in the Post: This Corvair Has a Secret, and it Ain’t Vicious Oversteer Rarely has a bone-stock-looking sleeper concealed such audaciousness. A V-12 Jaguar motor crammed into the front, radiators out back, and in between are several bushels of a master’s touch – all with…

Getting to Know Your Falcon
/
Last time you heard about my ’64 Falcon, I’d just bought it and used it as a counterpoint to $250k chav-rockets. Figured I’d let you know what a few weeks of driving and some research have brought to bear. The first big realization was that this car is not all original (gasp!). Like many cars,…

HCOTY Nominee: Reader Submission Volume 2 – The Uberbird
/
Call it what you want, but yes – we are posting a car of our own creation here for nomination. However, this wasn’t our idea really – it was yours. Numerous comments and a few emails suggesting our LeMons racer can no longer go unheeded… So I submit our beloved Uberbird for consideration as a…

HCOTY Nominee: Pontiac G8 GXP
/
HCOTY Nominee: Pontiac G8 GXP Nominated by: Tomsk As seen being fawned over by the buff books, car blogs and a funny looking test pattern “Motorweek,” as well as (briefly) sitting on dealer lots. As a famous electric Lincoln driver and occasional balladeer once sang, “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” Sadly,…

Hooniverse Asks- (Obvious Question Edition) What Are Your New Year's Resolutions?
/
Okay, so I know this is pretty obvious given the day and all, but this is the last day of not only the year, but of the decade as well. We’ve all managed to make it through the first tenth of the 21st century, none the worse for wear, and perhaps this is a good…

HCOTY Nominee: Bonus Reader Submission Volume 1 – The Basement Lamborghini
/
I just got an email from reader citroen67 who suggested we nominate Ken Imhoff’s Basement Lamborghini as a potential Hooniverse Car of the Year. My immediate reaction was that I am stupid for NOT thinking of this car choice after Deartháir cooked up this wonderful HCOTY idea. Hop the jump for a video trailer of…
